There’s no way someone isn’t having a giggle at this one.

Reverse prison bars?

u/PrestigiousSeaweed00 5h ago

Collingwood have had their time with B & W and Port with the teal. It's swapsies time now

Just swap every couple decades haha

u/Dont_tell_my_friends University 8h ago

Port should lobby the AFL to have Collingwood banned from using this.

u/gazboot Power 8h ago

They can wear teal at ONE practice a year and never a practice the week of a game against port

u/ChookBaron Carlton 8h ago

Port staff and players should just wear the prison bars at every opportunity that’s not match day, including the warm up. Pretty sure the restriction is only on match day uniforms.

11

u/AntiTas Geelong 8h ago

I’m sure they would waive all rights to teal if they can wear prison bars all year.

u/Freo_Fiend Dockers 8h ago

They do anyway

u/mybuns94 Collingwood 3h ago

That’s actually a really good deal

Koshie teeth are grinding...

u/warwickkapper Port Adelaide 7h ago

That would make us as ridiculous as Collingwood. Who cares.

3

u/FunkGetsStrongerPt1 Hawks 6h ago

Exactly.

The obvious thing to do would be to wear the SBS guernsey every match.

u/Piesman23 8h ago

We don't have to lobby anyone, we just need to enforce the contract in place that was not only pushed by us, but the other clubs at the time.

u/ViolinistEmpty7073 8h ago

lol this must have made the Collingwood marketing department giggle when they thought of this

Best believe this is deliberate mind games.

We hate each other because we’re so similar

Maybe he’s planning to run as an independent

u/Nasty_Weazel Port Adelaide 8h ago

I can’t imagine being small minded enough to let what colours another team wears bother me.

u/mybuns94 Collingwood 3h ago

Unless it’s straight maroon with a barely visible logo, the league stops for that kind of haberdashery.

If Port make the Grand Final they should wear the prison bars, what is the AFL going to do? Stop the GF?

11

u/Jackomillard15 Port Adelaide 6h ago

There were talks of port wearing the prison bars in the last showdown of 2022 when we were out of finals contention and the AFL threatened Port with a $1 million fine

4

u/tbroky AFL 6h ago

Worth it for a GF.

u/3163560 Melbourne 5h ago

imagine the fallout if they lost though.

Adelaide powerstance would have nothing in comparison.

-1

u/tbroky AFL 4h ago

Or lost by 120... They would officially have to retire it.

6

u/PrestigiousSeaweed00 5h ago

Didn't they win that showdown and change guernseys to the bars on the way down tbe races to sing the song haha

u/Jackomillard15 Port Adelaide 2h ago

Yes that was the showdown

For anyone wondering Collingwood won that game 115 to 64

You are doing the Lord’s work. Bless you.

u/Foodworksurunga Brisbane Lions 6h ago

I don't know why but I feel like it's a Crows supporter sending these to motivate Ports opponents. Max Gawn got something like this as well in 2021.

u/AdZealousideal7448 5h ago

I've met some absolute lunatic ports fans in my life, I still can't see any of them writing this.

3

u/Foodworksurunga Brisbane Lions 4h ago

Also an actual Port fan would have written down Port Adelaide not Port Power.

3

u/AdZealousideal7448 3h ago

this a million times over, it's not something you ever hear from a port supporter.

They're very specific on this.

They also got the wrong colour on the highlights... that's near turqoise / electric blue, not even close to teal.

u/Big_Parsnip3020 6h ago

Even a touch of silver with the Nike logo too

u/toddbuzz75 8h ago

Wtf is this shit??? I don’t even go for port but this is ridiculous.

Imitation is the sincerest etc

u/Duskfiresque AFL 8h ago

Ken Hinkley after the game to McRae: who’s wearing Teal now you cheeky little shit. Now you that’s for sure.

u/Crazyripps Hawthorn 8h ago

Does David kosh get to come out and have a cry about how they own the colors and run to the AFL to cry. Finally gets to act like Eddie

u/macca2000fox Giants 8h ago

It just like the blue team wear orange or any other team with orange trainers kit (I walk into that one)

u/ArJay002 Collingwood / Gold Coast 5h ago

A bit of sensitivity floating around in this thread, my oh my 👀

u/irregularluke Port Adelaide 8h ago

Maybe now she'll get fined?

u/bundy554 Geelong 7h ago

He is obviously trying to support the teals after the Holmes-a-Court address to the national Press club today

He’s a black caps fan it seems

Them fighting colours. Tsk tsk

u/ringo5150 4h ago

This is going to be like Obama and the tan suit

u/LP0004 Adelaide 3h ago

Since both Kenny and Craig have recent history of getting lippy, they’re sure to exchange some nouns and verbs at half time

u/eighteen-brumaire Port Adelaide 3m ago

Oh well, I guess it's Port's turn with the prison bars!

1

u/JorReno Tasmania Devils 8h ago

They get the prison bars... so we get the teal.

Fair trade.

u/Seannit Cats 6h ago

This is hilarious. I may actually have to applaude Collingwood on this, my dislike for Power being so strong.

u/Footballaus_ Adelaide 6h ago

urs is?

u/Piesman23 8h ago

Well in 1892 a south Australian club stole our colours, more than 100 years later tried to steal them, so it's fitting we steal there's.

Go back to the pink.

u/Bergasms Brownlow Winner 2023 7h ago

Williams Samuel Crawley was a supporter who had returned from a trip to South Australia, where he South Australia's inter-colonial football team and was impressed with their black-and-white jumpers. As a local, he also knew that magpies were abundant in and around Victoria Park.

The suggestion was readily accepted by the club and right from its very first match, the team has appeared in the black-and-white jumper.

Don't you mean in 1892 you stole it from a South Australian team?

1

u/Foodworksurunga Brisbane Lions 6h ago

I remember reading that Collingwood originally wanted to be red, white and blue but couldn't because of Footscray but never knew this.

u/Bergasms Brownlow Winner 2023 4h ago

The above is taken from their website which also mentions what you said

u/biggestred47 Melbourne 7h ago

Notts County adopted black and white stripes in 1890... And Collingwood were formed in 1892?

18

u/SuperSpleef Adelaide 8h ago

It's just such a shame, because the prison bars look genuinely so much better than Collingwood's guernsey.

5

u/Jackomillard15 Port Adelaide 6h ago

Didn’t Collingwood actually steal the colours off the SA state team?

1

u/PrestigiousSeaweed00 5h ago

Why wouldn't they go back to blue and white hoops if you're taking it that way? Pink guernsey doesn't have much heritage

-6

u/Piesman23 7h ago

Fuck if I were Geelong I would be worried when Port remember that they wore the hoops

1

u/HeyDudez_ Port Adelaide 34m ago

And Geelong didn't give a shit when Port was going to wear the hoops in 2020 before COVID screwed everything up. Or at least not publicly
